While there are several, genuine Christian artists... it seems that there are more and more artists who are posing in the genre because they see a less cut-throat side of the music business. Like most Christians that seem to fall back, this could put a smudge in the Holy Hip Hop genre.

I enjoy the music put forth that is explicit with the Gospel, but also enjoy music that raps of other Christian virtues and areas of life. Blessed to listen to Lampmode recordings!

And they have some family stuff too. Also, Json has a great song called "Parent Me." Check it out sometime. I recommend This'l and Lecrae. They both pick up more grittier topics.

I would love to hear more guys rap about family, work, children, etc., and do so in a way that is glorifying to God. Not every song needs to be a rhyming exegesis of Romans 5-8.

For a long time, i've seen eyebrows raised when I mention my love for Hip Hop in church. It's great to show that it's not the genre of music but the message that matters. God bless you all!
